The domain name itself is one of the most important factors for google. Apart from that your h1 says welcome and has an <hr> inside. If you put your name in the h1 it's gonna help your ranking.

There is no content at all on this site. If you want to get up in the rankings you need to provide content that is relevant to your name.

Btw the html entities you're using miss a semicolon which is invalid html. I think google likes valid html better :)

Hope that helps, Martin

Is there a significant penalty to having a domain name where the ccTLD finishes the word (youtu.be)?
The Google Search Console has a International Targeting section, where it associates your site with a country, which influences "how your site appears in search results, and improves our search results for geographic queries." This can be disabled.

They have some ccTLDs which do not automatically associate your domain to a specific country as specified here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/62399

.be is not in the list.

in my experience, google does not include the tld for purposes of a full word match on the domain. Last I tried this was about a year ago.
